Well he did have a panic attack this morning and started to hyperventilate. The nurses were able to calm him down fairly quickly but they said if it continued they may give him some anxiety medication to help with sleep too. He wouldn't go to bed at all...he finally got some rest hopefully things start to improve from here. The doctor said it's only temporary for maybe a week. I sure hope things stay in that time frame.
